A program to download phpBB forum threads (like Puppys'). It's based somewhat on Mu's original program Fetchforum, written in basic.

Here's how it works -

After you've made selections, ThreadGet downloads each page of the forum thread, saves it as a single sequentially numbered html file in a subdirectory of a created /root/ForumThreads directory.

When all pages have been downloaded, the separate html files are combined into a single one. The individual pages are then deleted.

Usuage:

Find the forum thread you like and go to the first page. Then copy and paste the URL line (be sure that the line ends with only a number - no "&start" or other symbols)

Enter the last page number of the thread you've chosen or enter the last page you'd like to download. (In attempting to ensure that all pages are downloaded, you may get a couple of extra unfilled pages at the end, due to rounding and partial pages)

Enter the name of the file you'd like to save the thread under (e.g configure-wifi). No need to enter any extension, as .htm will be added to the name (e.g. configure-wifi.htm)

You'll now have a single searchable html file with all those informative posts.

Um, some threads in this forum are several hundred pages long. If a lot of people download them, it's going to really tie up the forum server and bandwidth. All I'm saying is, please be discriminating in your choices.

successfully just got six pages from a non-phpbb but near clone.

Like ttuuxxx's Classic 2.14X you mean, 281 pages at last view, must be close to the record by now.

Would it be possible to add a feature that would allow us to specify a starting page and the option to save with append to or overwrite the local file?

Lets assume we wanted to save the Fluppy 013 thread...it has 117 pages. When new posts are added to the forum, having the ability to start at page 118 and add those new posts to the local file would not only be very convenient, but also reduce bandwidth used by the forum.
